We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe "About the role" heading), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: About CPS (mission), Position Title, Under supervision... (responsibilities), Specialty Functions (list), Essential Functions (list), Minimum Qualifications & Requirements (list), Physical Requirements (list), Employment Expectations (list), Benefits (list), Salary Range (pay). No schedule info. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe combine About CPS and description), Responsibilities (maybe from "Under the supervision..." and "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions"? Actually responsibilities could be those functions). Requirements could be Minimum Qualifications & Requirements plus Physical Requirements plus Employment Expectations? Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role: mission description. Could be "About the role" heading. Responsibilities: we have "Under the supervision..." plus "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions". Those are duties. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications & Requirements (degree, license, application). Also Physical Requirements and Employment Expectations could be under Requirements or separate? Could combine. Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we can have Qualifications separate for endorsements etc. However we have "valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1" under Specialty Functions? Actually that's under Specialty Functions bullet: "A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1". That's a qualification. Also Minimum Qualifications includes license. So we could have Qualifications section for license and endorsement. Skills: maybe from Essential Functions: communication, interpersonal, judgment, etc. Could list. Benefits: we have Benefits section with subpoints. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: none, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We should remove the EEO paragraph and contact numbers. Also remove "Posting Date", "Primary Location"? Those could be minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short p for Posting Date and Primary Location maybe. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points content. We need to format lists with

  • . For prose use

    . We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract content. About CPS: "We are an urban district on the rise. The support and resources we provide to our staff enables them to make the greatest difference where it’s needed most. Be a part of the change. Our mission is to provide a high quality public education for every child, in every neighborhood, that prepares each for success in college, career and civic life." That's prose. Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher (but we don't repeat as heading). Could include as part of About the role? Maybe we can include a short p: "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher". But instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). It doesn't forbid including it in a paragraph. We'll include maybe as part of About the role? Safer to include a short p: "

    Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher

    " but that repeats title; maybe better to omit because it's not substantive? The instruction: "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't say cannot include elsewhere. But to be safe, we can omit. Responsibilities: Under the supervision of the school principal, teachers are responsible for the instruction, progress, tracking, and discipline of all students in assigned classes, and performs other duties as assigned and required. Specialty Functions bullet list: - A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1 - Set goals for the individualized education plan that are achievable and comparable to a student's peers in accordance with the State of Illinois IEP guidelines - Work collaboratively with case managers, counselors, and general education teachers to determine instructional and social needs of students that ensure success while also participating on the multidisciplinary team to promote students' wellbeing Essential Functions bullet list (multiple): - Demonstrate a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and student knowledge, in order to select learning objectives and design coherent instruction and assessments - Create an environment for effective student learning and growth by establishing a respectful classroom culture with strong management of student behaviors and classroom procedures that promotes and appreciates the cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity of students - Respond to the needs of all students by designing engaging classroom instruction with appropriately challenging questions, communication and discussion techniques, and instructionally aligned assessments - Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment especially in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students - Prioritize student safety through consistent implementation of the Student Code of Conduct and school wide systems of management and discipline - Personalize student learning through mastery and innovative use of curriculum supplements and technology resources, as available - Advocate for the district’s vision and commit to our district’s common themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate use of technology, and student assumption of responsibility We could combine Specialty Functions and Essential Functions under Responsibilities. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications & Requirements bullet list: - A bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education - Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach - A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, with the appropriate endorsement(s) for the role - information on obtaining a valid teacher license can be found at isbe.net/licensure Physical Requirements bullet list: - Light Work: Exerting up to twenty (20) pounds of force occasionally, or up to ten (10) pounds of force frequently, or a negligible amount of force constantly to move objects.

We could also include the EEO statement but that's boilerplate to remove. So we drop. Benefits: we have sections with headings inside the benefits text. We need to preserve all substantive information. The benefits text includes headings: "Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice", "Financial Security: Planning for Today and Tomorrow", "Work-Life Balance: Supporting Your Personal and Professional Life". Under each there are bullet-like lines but not formatted as list. We need to convert to
